确定阿联酋各种恶性口腔病变的患病率，并将鳞状细胞癌病例与年龄、性别、部位、分级、诊断时的临床表现以及颈部转移的患病率相关联。在阿联酋四家主要医院进行了一项多中心回顾性研究。该研究基于口腔组织活检的组织病理学报告。检索到的992份口腔活检报告中，发现恶性肿瘤147例，占活检总数的14.9%。诊断出 15 种不同类型的恶性病变，其中口腔鳞状细胞癌 (OSCC) 最为常见，占口腔活检总数的 11.4%。最常见的癌症表现是溃疡（31.17%），其次是肿块和白色病变。最常见的病变部位是舌头（51.9%），其次是脸颊和嘴唇。 OSCC 占所有报告的恶性肿瘤的 77%。在 Mafraq 和 Tawam 医院诊断的所有 OSCC 病例中，仅 20.8% 进行了颈部清扫术，其中 43.75% 有颈部转移的证据。口腔癌在阿联酋并不是一种罕见的疾病。这可能需要开展更多的宣传活动，包括早期发现癌性病变和其他潜在恶性口腔疾病的筛查程序。应更常规地进行选择性颈部清扫术以检测淋巴结转移，特别是对于舌癌，因为早期颈部受累的可能性。
To determine the prevalence of various malignant oral lesions in the UAE and correlate cases of squamous cell carcinomas with age, gender, site, grade, clinical presentations at the time of diagnosis, and the prevalence of neck metastasis. A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at four major hospitals in the UAE. The study was based on histopathology reports of biopsies of oral tissues. Of the 992 oral biopsy reports retrieved, 147 cases of malignant tumors were found which accounted for 14.9% of the total biopsies. Fifteen different types of malignant lesions were diagnosed, of which oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) was the most prevalent and made up 11.4% of the overall oral biopsies retrieved. The commonest presentation of cancer was ulceration (31.17%), followed by lumps and white lesions. The most common site where the lesions were diagnosed was the tongue (51.9%), followed by the cheeks and lips. OSCC accounted for 77% of all malignancies reported. Neck dissections were conducted in only 20.8% of all OSCC cases diagnosed at Mafraq and Tawam hospitals, of which 43.75% showed evidence of neck metastasis. Oral cancer is not an uncommon disease in the UAE. This may mandate more awareness campaigning, including screening procedures for early detection of cancerous lesions and other potentially malignant oral diseases. Elective neck dissections to detect lymph node metastasis should be more routinely performed, in particular for tongue carcinomas because of the early neck involvement potential.
